Given the potential for rising tensions between Taiwan and China to further affect semiconductor production, the re-globalization of manufacturing could have widespread effects on Asia’s economies.

Along with this push for restructuring supply chains, the absence of top Chinese leaders in Davos allowed many other countries across Asia to take the opportunity to present themselves as alternatives to China.
隨著供應鏈重組的推動，中國高階領導人在達沃斯缺席，讓亞洲許多其他國家藉此機會毛遂自薦代替中國。
